In the article, Bloomberg states, “While I’m sitting there waiting for [the minister] to introduce me, he said to his congregation, ‘You know, if every one of you stopped and frisked your kid before they went out at night, the mayor wouldn’t have to do it,’” Mr. Bloomberg said. “And so I knew I was going to be OK with that audience.”

As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artworkhere, being shared by the page, “Heartland Institute,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

“Rep. Rangel: Law abiding citizens just shouldn’t have to carry guns.Reporter: But, you’re protected by guns all over the place here at the Capitol.Rep. Rangel: Well, that’s a little different. I think we deserve… I think we need to be protected down here.”– Rep. Charlie Rangel (D), New York City(If this isn’t hypocrisy at the highest level, I don’t know what is.)

My Commentary: Silly peasants. Guns are for the elect, and their mercenaries!

(note: though I previously shared a slightly different version of this artwork in June of 2017, within my post, “To the State, No Lives Matter…,” I still felt compelled to offer up an alternative commentary when I saw it again, due to the recent anti-gun push triggered by the latest school shooting, here in the States)
